Introduction
Hey there, it’s Mye Chin! Today, I had the pleasure of trying out some new food items from Costco – soup dumplings and premium Tason. Join me as I share my thoughts on these delicious treats and give you some tips on how to enjoy them to the fullest.
Soup Dumplings
Let’s start with the star of the show – the soup dumplings. These dumplings come in a hefty 3 lb bag and cook in just 12 minutes. I recommend using a bamboo steamer to steam them, as it helps prevent condensation from falling onto the dumplings. Make sure each dumpling has enough room to expand and grow while steaming.
To make the dipping sauce, slice up some ginger to balance out the richness of the pork filling. Mix Chinese vinegar with some homemade hot oil for a spicy kick. When the dumplings are ready, be sure to place a spoon underneath to catch any leaking soup. Enjoy the dumplings by nibbling the top, sipping the soup, and dipping them into the sauce.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of these soup dumplings. The skin was chewy, the filling was porky and juicy, and there was a generous amount of soup inside. I give these frozen soup dumplings a solid 9 out of 10.
Premium Tason Ramen
Next up, I tried the non-shim premium Tason Ramen. While the noodles were springy and chewy, I found the broth to be lacking in richness. It tasted more like it came from a powder rather than a restaurant. While the noodles were good, I wouldn’t say this ramen was premium quality.
That wraps up this week’s Costco Food review. Thank you for joining me on this culinary adventure, and until next time, happy eating!
